Since 1991, an enologist from León, Luis Buitrón, who was instrumental in the creation of the Ribeira Sacra D.O. and helped the Rodríguez family begin estate-bottling their wines. They named their winery Guímaro. Guímaro was one of the first adegas to join the appellation in 1996. In the beginning the wines were simple jovenes, young wines that showed the slate-infused freshness of lush red fruit and supple texture.

1991年，佩德罗·罗德里格斯聘请了来自里昂的一位酿酒师，路易斯·贝特隆，开始对自己的酒进行灌瓶，并将家族酒庄命名为“吉马洛”。吉马洛酒庄在1996年成为加入萨卡拉河岸法定产区的首批酒庄之一。在二十一世纪初期，路易斯·贝特隆将佩德罗介绍给比尔索地区的著名酿酒师劳尔·佩雷斯。在劳尔的指点下，佩德罗意识到了他手中所拥有的那些老藤葡萄的出众的潜力，可以酿造出极富表现力，以及极具陈年能力的单一葡萄园酒。

The winery belongs to the Méndez family, a family with a great connection to the wine world. The first project began in 1912, the year that Francisco Méndez Laredo planted his first Albariño vine in the field Finca El Torno, in the town of Meaño. Francisco Méndez Laredo has a small winery in which he produced harvester wine, where he received great acknowledgements for his work. Francisco méndez became one of the most famous characters in the area, when a few years later he created the appellation of origin in Rías Baixas. Nowadays, the winery is the hands of Rodrigo Méndez, nephew of the founder, Francisco Méndez.

福佳思酒庄位于加利西亚下海湾产区，由弗朗西斯科·门德斯创建于1912年。从2005年开始，它成为了一个家族拥有的精品小型酒庄，庄主为罗德里格·门德斯，并与加利西亚著名的先锋酿酒师劳尔·佩雷斯进行合作。罗德里格继承了其祖父遗留下来的古老葡萄园，这些葡萄园大多数都距离海边只有咫尺之遥。并且这些葡萄园中的葡萄树龄都极为悠久，有的葡萄树龄甚至达到了200年，连酒庄所酿造的最年轻的的阿尔巴里诺白葡萄酒，其平均树龄都达到40年之久。

Mar de Frades was born in 1987 and its path is parallel to that of the Quality Control of the Rias Baixas. It is a pioneering bodega in the area and represents the meaning of the most deeply-rooted tradition in the Valley of Salnés, the historical capital of Albariño. “A sea that is also a wine” – Mar de Frades – is a Galician phrase for Mar de los Frailes (Sea of the Friars). It is also the name given to a place in the Arosa Estuary close to the mouth of the River Umia, the same spot where the pilgrims used to disembark from their maritime journey on their way to Santiago, the shrine of Saint James.

圣湾酒庄建造于1987年，它的历史与下海湾法定产区建立的历史几乎是同时。它也是该产区酿酒行业的先行者，在酿造过程中，保留了许多萨尔内斯山谷传统的酿酒工艺。萨尔内斯山谷也被誉为阿尔巴里诺葡萄的首都。 “一个海湾，同时也是一款酒。”——这就是圣湾酒庄。在加利西亚语中，圣湾（Mar de Frades）意思为“修道士的海湾”。它同时也是阿洛萨河口一处地方的名字。去往圣蒂亚戈（圣•詹姆斯的圣地）的朝圣者们，在漂洋过海后，就是从这里登陆。

Compañía de Vinos del Atlántico (CVA) was founded in 2002 with the purpose of uniting the winemaking heritage of Alberto Orte and Patrick Mata’s families. Both of their families have been producing wine, independently, throughout Spain since the late 1800s.CVA currently produces wines in 18 different appellations within the Iberian Peninsula. The goal of CVA is to handcraft "elaborar" wines that express the identity of the place where they come from.  Throughout the years, CVA has been searching for great vineyard-sites which produce consistently superior wines compared to neighboring vineyards.

 大西洋葡萄酒业（CVA）成立于2002年，公司旨在将阿尔贝托·奥特和帕特里克·马塔两个传统酿酒世家联合在一起。这两个家族自从19世纪晚期，各自开始酿造葡萄酒，其旗下的酒庄遍布西班牙境内各地。目前CVA所酿造的酒，覆盖了18个法定产区，这18个产区都位于伊比利亚半岛。CVA的宗旨是创造出能够体现酒产地的风土特征的优质葡萄酒。CVA经过数年的探索和考察，CVA在西班牙各地发掘极具潜质和优秀风土条件的葡萄园，相比于邻近的葡萄园，能够酿造出更加精彩的葡萄酒。
